What is the current research on trial of void after removal of an indwelling urinary catheter?
Abstract
The evidence suggests that early catheter removal can reduce urinary tract infection risk and shorten hospital stays but may increase re-catheterization rates. Techniques like bladder backfilling could aid in reducing time to void without affecting overall TOV success.
